The hotel is very rustic and like being in a log cabin. Dining conveniently located on the premises. The restaurant is very good. Staff are very pleasant and helpful. The bed was very comfortable. The room was pretty basic. My main reason for not giving 5 star was that you can hear the other guests next door. Fortunately, they quieted down around 11.

Peaceful rustic grounds, sweet sunrise water view from the restaurant patio. Loved the tree net platform thingy for gazing up into the branches! Front desk experience was off-brand. More "snarky ennui" vibe than warm cozy sea cottage. Dorm style rooms have a strong musk. Standard rooms are clean. Comfy bed!

So dark inside the inn. Hardly saw an employee until 4:00 pm. The restaurant is excellent. Ate there twice. Good sized pours on drinks.

Don’t think twice. Book it.
Absolutely LOVED this place. It is a gem and we will definitely be back. Everyone was so welcoming and caring with us and our kids especially. It’s cozy and dreamy and perfect. The good is excellent as are the drinks. I was especially impressed that when I called at 9p to ask if there was a paid laundry service available, after 6 days of stinky camping and two large bags to clean, I was shocked when Sunya offered to clean them during her night shift for free as a courtesy. The next morning everything was neatly folded and we were so grateful.

My dinner was great. The room left a lot to be desired, e.g. very small, bad lighting - not enough to read a book, no room to put my suitcase, so TV, no desk, small sink, toilet and shower down the hall - and all for $250 a night. I wasn't expecting a lot because it's a 'resort', but I was expecting a lot more than what I paid for.

Dinner Disaster
It's a wooden lodge atmosphere in a beautiful location. Room in separate building from main lodge had a great view, patio with chairs, large common deck area with rocking chairs. Desk staff was good. Store was great. Restaurant offering was atrocious and didn't match cost tier. Extremely salty prawn cake, pickled mess side, and tiny Halibut offering woefully cooked. Excellent bread to start was worth appetizer price point.

Was not aware that our room had shared bathrooms with all the other rooms on the upper floor of the historic building. I was also surprised at the condition of our room, floor sloping away and rustic walls. We planned to eat at the hotel restaurant during our stay but no one told us you needed a reservation, so we had to wait for 2 hrs until 7:45pm to eat. It would have been nice to know at check in, on the check in papers or for it to show on the website that you need a reservation for the restaurant.

Such an amazing gem of a place. Cannot wait to come back. Get the burger and fries. Complementary coffee, tea, and Smores at the campfire were a really nice touch.

Checked in late in the evening and didn’t receive a warm welcome from the front desk agent. I recommend the bar. The bartender was conversational and nice. Very cool lodge and property.

Good visit, has the potential to be great.
Rustic historical hotel, friendly service. Very set in doing things a traditional way. When checking in, even though there was six of us in line, the single check in person gave the lengthy speech to each of us, exactly the same even though we near the end of the line heard it several times by then. It would be better to shorten the talk and improve by digitalization or better written communication.

A must experience
Oh my this was this such a wonderful experience! Wish we would have had another night! Food was delicious, service was excellent and the bed was so cozy :) Had a lagoon facing room May try the historic lodge next time as I took a peek at the rooms, hallway and bathroom situation. Enjoyed the treenet while listening to nature after our lovely dinner. Had a nice coffee and pastry out on the dock in the morning. Friendly staff It was lovely.

The Expedia system did not reveal that the room had a shared bathroom (the floor actually!) which definitely changed the tenor of our stay. We got the “cheap seats” with not only the shared toilet but the restaurant hood fan outside our window filling the room with smells and our room located above the front desk where audible conversations could be heard in the early hours. The staff was lovely (especially the bar) but the hospitality missed restocking the complimentary beverage station (no water or cocoa). It felt like we were camp counselors! If you like quirky and mildly uncomfortable for a relative high rate, you will love it!
